Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 16 Nov 07

This is getting ridiculous. It's been more than 2 weeks, can we wrap this thing up? It is starting to look like half of Port Charles isn't going to survive to see Thanksgiving. So far they are making it look like Luke, Sonny,...

krebstar5 @krebstar5 (1266) • United States 8 Feb 07

I've been writing for epinions (though not that regularly) and I've noticed a huge difference in payouts per category. Bath and Beauty barely pays anything, but I made the most when I wrote a review for a video game. Even...

webduck @webduck (238) • United States 24 Jan 07
